They had big common areas, one bedroom was air conditioned (not every Hilo hotel has air conditioning) convenient laundry facilities, and one tv for the whole hotel outside in an entertainment room. They also do tours and rent bikes to get around, and the help was super friendly and informative. The owners also do several different tours of the area....

Unfortunately I have spend only one night in Arnott's Lodge due to my flight back home. I can strongly recommend this hostel. Clean, open minded people and a relaxing Location. Absolutely a place to be 8-)

Aloha and mahalo for your review. Our staff and I invite you to stay with us more than one night on your next trip to Hilo. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay! Aloha

Simple but very comfortable. Good tips and advices from a friendly staff. If you book a trip to Mauna Kea with Arnotts, you get a discount on your room. but we did not try it. Not in the most beautiful neighborhood, but it is calm and you can be in the city center in 10 minutes drive.

I stayed in a spotless one bedroom suite double room on the second floor. In the kitchen there are pots and pans, utensils, a microwave, electric range and various small appliances, including a toaster. The living room has a small bed, an overhead fan and a table with a lamp. The bedroom has a bed that sleeps two, an A/C...

Aloha and mahalo for your awesome review. Our 1BR suite is popular for couples and independent travelers that want a bigger space to spread out. And our discounted tour rates is also an added bonus if staying with us for at least 1 night. Mahalo for choosing Arnott's Lodge & Hiking Adventures, we hope to see you again soon on...

We are currently staying at Arnott's Lodge as of the time of this writing. We are happy except for the fact that they don't even have an ice machine on the premises which is really bad and we are on the Mauna Kea summit tour right now and they packed us 13 deep in a tour van like a bunch...

Don't be embarrassed, we're all about trying to make you satisfied. Unfortunately we do not have an ice machine for our guests to freely use but we do provide ice. Our friendly front...

The neighborhood that the hotel is located seemed residential and a bit harder to find at night when we flew in. I had my reservations when we were shown the room with private bathroom but over the course of 3 nights it grew on me and gradually felt more comfortable. It felt like a re purposed residence, however everything that...

Aloha and mahalo for your review. We are a 5 minute drive to Hilo and a car is recommended to see sights at your leisure. Our location is prime if you want to be near the ocean and across the street from us are native Hawaiian homes, so we are in a residential area. We hope you weren't too frightened...

Driving away from the Hilo airport for the 10 or 12-minute drive to Arnott’s Lodge, as you pass through an industrial section (including the port of Hilo) and then turn into a residential area, you may start to wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into. Persevere, however, and you’ll be rewarded with the discovery of a delightfully quirky and welcoming establishment...

Very good hostel in Hilo, not in the center of the city, but very close from the sea and some beaches, quiet place, nice staff. I booked a tour at the volcano. I recommend this place if you have a car to be able to visit the city and surroundings.

This was my second stay. We really enjoyed it 5 years ago and this time actually made travel plans so we could stay again. We were camping. During the rain times there's no better campground you could be. Hiding under the roof on the sofas, doing laundry, browsing Internet (it's free when you stay there) they couple places you can...
